DANIELSON One of the imterosting possibilities of cheering up what otherwise might be & dull holiday afternoon lies in*attemptink to put through a business call over. the telephone, or any other Xkind of a. tele« phone call fopthat matter. You will find the faithful operators on duty, as, usual. They do not figure in what the typewrit- or has started to click off here, other than that they are customarily' courteous, as Is the rule with them on all other days of the year, notwithstamding that they have folks at hom and woul like to he’with them and-in them on a day like Christmas, for, instance, as do other people. But, in any event, you put in your call for, we'll say. a man who las had a rush of a Cliristmas season and he/doesnit an- ¥wer, but somewhere on the line a- per- won is perturbed by more or less persist- ent ringing and in half a minute Someone picks off the hook,and you say “Hello, Bill,” ‘or something like that and an acid tomrale volee promptly tells you ‘“wrong number” and stams up the receiver, giving the impression that, excluding herself, the world is all mixed up and nobody else is on the job, though the telephome ring may have interrupted ah fitterly ‘wselesn smployment of time on her part—and you 't calling her at all, Yunderstand. ‘Wrong aumber " said as. “Par- don me, please,” but giving an‘entirely different impressibu. More ' truthful would be “wrong person answering,” but »me seldom hears that.. Did-you?® It’s really funny when one has a bump »f humor." It's espeelally funny-on & hol- lday when the world is supposed to be more than ordinarily 'goed natured. There isn't a chance, it sppears on this tith day of December, that all who aref’ operating motor~ vehicles ‘and - expect - to rontinue. to do . so _uninterruptedfy h hout the winter, will gét their Tes- strations.by next Sunday, night. Num- sers of them are stfl blithely going along and running the old -pusses witholit a hought of tomBrrow. ey haven't sent m their money fqr-their registrations as ret and they are fully aware that the police will pounce down upon them next Monday, morning if they go about with cars bearing last year's numbers. For his no one has to do any worrying ex- :pt the people who own cars and haven't registered. Only there is a day of reck- oning at hand and those ‘who figure in the reckoning should not complain it they have to pay some penalties. The warnings have been numerous and ample. Those who ignofe them will learn that there is something more involced than newspaver talk, whatever that may mean. Chrisimme was a very guiet holiday in Danlelson. From outward-appearances it might bé rated an ‘extra Sunday” in 1922. This is not to he. taken as indicat- ing that the holiday, wa& 2ot a_joyful one for hundreds of Dahielson’s citizens, for It was really that, and there were many happy homes and firesides about’ which Iamily members who have not been re- shited for a year Fathered. As early as 5 o'clock Christmas morning the streets were lined with neople going to early thurch service and this, was repeated several times during thé-morning: hours. No diversions were planned for any part » the day until evening, whah they was basketball and dancing and movie en- lertainments to help round out what was } very guiet and happy holiday in Dan- leiron, free from much that has been pondemned. in modern day. observances of the festival in the larger communities of the country.

Gifts came from every section of the cqunty Willimantic, being particularly generous. The battalion of Mftle people realy had a double holiday. There weré presents and a chicken dinner on Suynday, tife eve of Christmas, and on Christmas day theee was another chicken dinner and another avalanche of gifts. The superin- tenderft and'matron, Mrs.-D. C. Park, said Monday aftetnoon that this Christ- mas season was onme of the most enjoy- able in the history of the home, and that the children- emtered into the spirit of the occasion with all the gusto of happy. care free children¥ho happen to be With their. parents i, thelr own home, When in- formation was bemg given ovet the tele- phone about the holiday Monday after- noon, Mrs.. Park had to excuse herselt for a moment that she might shut her- selt in from the hapn$ laughter of de- lighted children engaged in their Christ- mas_frolic. . The: Howe-Marot school for girls ‘in Thompson, only- two miles “distant from the children’s home, was one of the insti- | tutions: that cepeated its generosity of other years in cofitributing to the making of ‘a real moiiday for the county home children” The studen's there brought an abundance and n :other ways contributed to :the creation; of a.Teal happy holiday period for the scoles of little folks at the home. . Otiner public institutions in town were ted during: the Cheistmas period by those -who, really devote time and effort to making this season of the year a hap- py one to the suffering and unfortunate. Sunday_evening carol klngers visited the Day- Kimbail: hospitai, and there- were other évidences tidt there are still a few who bear in mind that the Christmas season' is ‘one of “Peace on earth, good will to-mem.” P idexts who have am &ye om the development of the city and the fue- therance of its commercial interests are more than pleased over the announce- ment that the Adams Manufacturing company of North Seftuate, forced out of a Jocation where it lias grown wealthy by reason of the development of a big Teservoir area for the city of Providence, is coming to Putnam to locate. Quickly following the announcement that this concern ‘has taken over two mills of the Nigitingale-Morse company, comes the announcement that the Adams company not only Wil use the mills it has purchased but also will construct an addition furnishing space for about 300 loomg in addition to the space for weav- ing that the mills it has purchased af- fords. . Active work for the development of its property as thsh Adams company will wish to have it will be undertaken with the coming of Spring. The concern that will be new to Putnam, though long es- tablished, and with splendid connections, is: to be a big asset to this city. Be- yond this, the concérn will give Putnam a greater diversity of mamufactures, be- cause it manufactures crinolines, tobacco field cloth, buckrams and other materials different that are not, listed in what the city’s plants are making at this time. Captain Remi Delage is a patient in St. Joseph's hospital at Willimantic this holiday season, receiving treatment that it is e ‘will materially contribute to his return to health. Captain Delage’s fllneas has been a surprise to the mia- jority of his many friends in this city. Apparently he was in Tobust health and about the last that one might expect to becomot'seriously and so suddenly HI. Mrs. Charles T. Thayer and children were Christmag guests of relatives In Danielson. As is their custom each year. members of the Salvation Army force in this city distributed Christmas cheer in many homes that otherwise might have had a barren holiday. Members of Putnam lodge of Elks also distributed the usunal amount of Christmas cheer. * Moderate weather at the week end ma- terially contributed to clearing the state highways; throug all this territory from the surfacing of ice that has made mo- toring difficult during the past week. rs at all of the masses a2t St. Mary's chuech on Christmas, hundreds making it a point to get up early to attend the first of the/ services ‘of the day.
